[nabs-l] Textbooks

[Ashley Bramlett]

Vejas,
Bookshare doesn't have many college textbooks; most of  us get it 
electronically from our disabled student service offices.

You can download textbooks off Bookshare site, and even e-mail
bookshare to request a textbook you need.  DAISY and BRF are the
main types of documents it supports, so in your situation, for
the Victor Stream, DAISY would probably be the better option.
Although sometimes, but rarely, you can download books in HTML
and text.

Yes you can save them either in a word document or txt document.
And load them on to an sd card

Good question.
I think the VR stream is doable, but not sure what format you
need to save to in order to read on vr stream.

Another question.
If my DSS office gives me electronic material, that I read on
the PC and with jaws, how can I read them on my braille Note?
Do I just save the files to the PC, then save from the PC to the
thumb drive or sd card?

Thanks.
Ashley

Hello all,
I'm hoping someone will have the answer to my questions, anyway
here goes.  I receive my college textbooks on CD, my DS office
makes them with approval from the book publishers.  I can read
theses CDs on my computer with windows eyes but I would also like
to be able to use my textbooks on my iPad and victor reader
stream as well.  Does anyone know how I would go about
transferring the files from the CDs to each of these devices or
if it can even be done?

Thanks in advance,
Angela Dehart
